6 ways to kickstart your spring fitness routine

As we say goodbye to brisk winter mornings and limited daylight hours, it’s the perfect time to say hello to a new fitness routine. Spring is a great time to shake off those winter cobwebs and start new healthy habits.

It’s time to stop thinking and start doing

Do you often think about improving your fitness, but feel too busy to bother?

There are many reasons to take the next step and dedicate time to focus on your health and wellbeing. Experts suggest regular exercise can:

5. Think fun

Fitness doesn’t have to be about sweating it out at the gym or exercising when you’d rather be doing something else. A fun fitness program will not only be easier to stick with, it’ll also add extra happiness and laughter to your life.

So, what’s your idea of fun?

Perhaps you can take advantage of the warmer weather and go on a walk with friends rather than meeting them for drinks? Choose enjoyable activities like gardening, rock climbing or belly dancing.

6. Change the little things

Simply changing your everyday habits can help boost fitness levels. Taking the stairs at work, walking for part of your lunchbreak or getting off the train a station earlier than normal can boost your daily steps without having to attend a class or the gym.

Habits can sometimes be hard to change, so consider using a habit-tracking app such as Productive Habit Tracker or stickK to help you make these small but significant changes.

No matter which option works best for you, the hardest part is getting started. We’ve made it easier for you with these ideas – all you have to do is start! Once you’re enjoying the benefits of improved fitness levels and wellbeing, your new routine is likely to be a welcome part of your life.
